These are not quite finished. Need fettling, as well as tyres (Paul Guage tyres on their way) and inserts needed.

Will post more pics when done

Very cool looking cars, Anthony.  

The only Ferrari that doesn't look quite as good is the one you don't own yet. They always look better in your own hand for some reason.

50 years later, I still miss my Monogram Lola. Nice trio.

None at all.

With no races to do there is no reason to build cars

On the contrary Gordon. Now is the time to catch up on all those projects that went on the back burner for whatever reason before Covid.

I have a bus-load (14 in total) of ARII kits waiting to see the milling machine. Not to mention a bus-load of vintage kits too. I won't have enough time to complete them all before the lock-downs are lifted.

And... I keep buying more vintage static kits as they become available. I'll never win this battle. But it's a good thing that we keep having fun. Yes?

But I don't have any projects outstanding as I have no races to go to. Racing is the only reason I build cars. Once the race is over, the parts get recycled into the cars for the next race meeting. If you keep all the cars you make, you become a er......collector

Being a "collector" is not one of the seven deadly sins last time I checked. It's just a word in the dictionary describing someone with a passion for something. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a collector of 5 or 50 cars. Your collection is just smaller than others. It's that simple.

You collect memories from all the cars you've built. You can't get rid of some stuff.

You are a collector whether you like it or not. You collect money or you would not pay your bills or eat.

We all collect food on a regular basis.

I can't get stuck on a word. Life is too short.

I'm not happy doing nothing during Covid. Building cars in my basement is the safest place to be right now.
